James Anderson: 'I'm yet to understand England omission'

James Anderson has revealed that he has "stopped trying to make sense" of his omission from the England squad for the tour of the West Indies.

After both Anderson and long-time teammate Stuart Broad were left out of the group, England went on to lose 1-0, succumbing to a heavy defeat in the final match of the three-Test series.

At the time, legendary pace bowlers Anderson and Broad were told that talks would be held regarding their potential participation during the summer, but speaking at a media day at Lancashire, the 39-year-old has said that he still remains in the dark.

Anderson said: "I've stopped trying to make sense of it and just put it to one side. It was completely out of my control. I've got to focus on what I can control and that is bowling as well as I possibly can.

"It feels a bit strange at the minute. I'm still centrally contracted but I've not had too much feedback from them because a lot is up in the air in terms of director of cricket and head coach. I have just been working with Glenn [Chapple, Lancashire's head coach] and Sam [Byrne, physio] here, just trying to figure out what the best way forward is.

"For the last few years, I have been thinking about that [life after cricket] anyway; it is just natural to think about that when you get to a certain age. People keep asking you the question of how long you are going to go on for. I don't think that has changed much really.

"My focus has always been, if I can still perform and my body is up to the challenge then I will keep doing that. I'll have to take it season-by-season. If the England call doesn't come, I will still play here this season. I have never looked too far ahead in my career. It's always game-by-game and series-by-series and season-by-season."

As a centrally-contracted player for England, Anderson is currently in a position where he cannot automatically play county cricket for Lancashire, and he will not play their upcoming game at Kent. body check tags ::
